If you think your loved one has FTD or has been diagnosed with FTD, you need to be concerned about money management and protection of assets.

The immediate money management you need to be concerned about is with the pFTD. The pFTD has little to no judgment. There are cases were pFTD has bankrupted a whole family because he/she has spent all their family's savings on worthless items, or a pFTD went to the bank, took out the money, and gave it away. A pFTD might go and spend hundreds of dollars on videos and CDs every week.

Immediate Money Management Ideas

    • Take away the checkbook.
    • Take away the credit card and ATM cards.

    Long-Term Money Management Ideas

    • Get on the "Do Not Call List" to prevent unwanted solicited calls.
    • Get Power of Attorney or Guardianship over the pFTD

Limit Pocket Change

I talked with a lady in Boise, Idaho, about her husband who passed away in 2005 and had worked at a local company. He would always have $10 to $20 in his wallet when he left for work, but when came home at night he would only have a dollar or two. Funny part, she said, was that she pack his lunch for him. She thought he was buying coffees for his buddys, so she started putting in only a dollar or two into his wallet and stopped his open spending.
